Hi there! My name is Greg Sabo and I'm an engineering manager at Asana. I've worked as a manager for two years. Previously I was an engineer at Stripe, HubSpot, The Echo Nest (now part of Spotify), and IBM. I've been in the industry for 10 years.
I believe in building high-performing teams by carefully growing cultures of trust, play, accountability, and psychological safety.
I'm also a musician and songwriter, and I love exploring the web as a creative medium. Definitely say hi, let's connect!
